Galactic blond... the only title that came to mind!

I put the last finishing touches to my painting in progress...


The attention grabbing power of this collage technique is always high from the feedback I've been getting. It would be interesting to try more colors some time in the future...

Note to self: "Personality-wise, I seem to be more attracted to monochromatic color schemes... I fight it from time to time, but always revert back....Can I have it both ways!"

Back to being the "king of rag"!

Yesterday, I decided to go back to a technique I used for a flag series last year : i.e., "canvas over canvas" collage...


For some reason, this technique provides an excitement I don't seem to get from my usual painting style...


I like the sculpturing aspect in particular...

Color my world - final... went for a minimalist approach!

I took some time this morning to finalize my painting in progress...


 In broad daylight after retouching the hair with some carbon black (I wanted to emphasize markings)...



I think, I've achieved the desired effect with a "less is more" type of approach...

Note: The painting needs to be stretched and varnished
